Style Icons: Victoria Beckham

Today's guest post on style icon Victoria Beckham, comes to us from the fabulous Kori at Blonde Episodes. For anyone who hasn't visited Blonde Episodes yet (and I can't imagine thereis anyone out there who hasn't!), it is a virtual treasure trove of super images and fascinating information on Hollywood glamour gals (amongst many other topics) so if anyone can be considered an authority in the area of stylish Hollywood, it would definitely be Kori!

A very sweet thank you to you, Kori!

I absolutely adore Victoria Beckham. She has a style that is all her own. Although most times I think she is too thin, she carries herself well and looks simply chic.

Posh looks great with long or short hair, although I prefer her short. It's just sassy and sexy, and defines her style.

She is rarely, if ever seen without sky high heels, and reminds me of the old days, where women actually got up, did their hair and makeup, coordinated their outfit, and never left the house without a hat or gloves.

To me, Victoria Beckham epitomizes fashion. She is a style icon, for sure. Not only does she set the trends, she inspires me to actually follow them. Check out some of my favorite pics of her.

Who else can look great in a Dodger jacket and shorts one day, and dress, heels, and gloves the next?

She always looks so fantastic. I love the one where she is wearing the tan purse and shoes with the demin looking pencil skirt! Personal preference though, she should stick to being a brunette...not liking her as a blond. (AT)

This is a great post! Victoria is so beautiful on the inside and out. Every time I have seen her interviewed she is such a lady. Yes, extremely tiny, I would like to make her a sandwich, but I don't think she starves herself, I just think she is one of those insanely lucky people that has a crazy high metabolism. Love the picture of her in the pink jeans above! :)

It really helps to be that thin. I've never cared for Posh Spice aka Mrs. Beckham but , especially in the last year, it is undeniable - she is one of the best dressed celebrities out there. Many have the money to support a good wardrobe, but not the excellent taste. I like her new label, everything I've seen looks really, really good.

And she carries a Birkin much of the time..ugh!! I too adore her style. I have heard from a blogging friend that when she's back home in the UK she's a bit nasty. But, oh so good to be her. I must check out Kori's blog, I do think I've been living under a rock / :

Am I the only one who is not a fan?? Sorry, but I do not think she is classy. At all. Money can buy you lots of nice things but it can't buy class. Actually I think she is a bit of a skank. I would like to feed her a Twinkie. Or ten. Don't hate me. I am entitled to my opinion, right?!!! I love 99.9% of your other Style Icons! MWAH!!!

Posh is indeed a style icon - love to see what she is wearing! Love your blog too - just signed up to follow you. If you are into food & wine stop by and visit me sometime at www.stephaniesavorsthemoment.com. Look forward to your next post!Stephanie
